GENERAL If anyone doesn't have the calendar invite and wants it, drop me a mail (Kevin) User guide / blog location in OvS.org - where is the best place to keep this material? (Robin/Ian) - blogs tend to be scattered various places - planet blog aggregator suggested - Ian to send a proposal about adding info from blogs to OVS docs Bug Tracking - some common place to share bugs info (Robin/Ian) - suggestion to use github as a bug tracker - Ian will send a note to the mailing list Release Testing: who does what in terms of features and functionality? (Robin/Ian) - would be good to identify gaps in testing - ask is for people to gather summary of tests/areas covered and share in future meetings (as a starting point) PERFORMANCE Update on OVS conf presented perf patches? (Kevin) - Tx batching - improves throughput but affects latency (Bhanu) https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/328363.html --- may need to do something like this for vhost ports also (Jan) - Combine actions --- 1/2 patch merged, 2/2 wip https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/328708.html Uni-dir perf drops (Kevin) - can happen with vhost ports in test case if enqueue/dequeue are on different pmds and dequeue pmd has no pkts to process (from any port) --- proposed dpdk patch to fix http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/22186/ Indirect descriptors (Billy) - perf gain for non-dpdk in VM, no significant impact when dpdk in VM EMC probabilistic insertion (disable EMC completely) (Bhanu) - Idea of disabling EMC for certain PMDs --- feedback seemed to be that it would only suit artificial test case HWOL Document about use cases and some other ways it can help.
